Anyone here had trouble aligning the starter during installation? I definitely struggled with that, and end up spilling a few curses!
LOL, I have definitely been there! A mechanical arm would make this process easier for sure!

Confirming connections is key; I made the mistake of not checking once, and it caused more headaches!
It’s funny how a little thing can cause a big issue! I always double-check my work now. Just had another starter issue — turns out it was the ignition switch!
Funny you mention the ignition switch! I’ve had a few starting problems that were actually related to that too.
Consider replacing both if you’re having recurrent problems. It’s a bit more work but saves time in the long run.
That’s smart advice! Better to knock it out now while you have everything apart!
This made me reflect on my past repairs! I thought I could save money but ended up causing more damage. Quality parts matter!
I totally relate, Melissa! Sometimes saving a few bucks on a part can lead to costly surprises later on!
